Welcome to Gaia! ::

A light film of persperation covered the spirit cat's fur as she lifted her arms in the defensive stance this form called for. She moved in time to the beat of her own heart wich was slow and steady. Moving easily dispite the fatigue she could feel tugging at the edges of her consciousness she finished the exersize holding the final pose for a moment before letting her arms drop to her sides.

Finding a towl that had matieralize to serve her need the dark fluffy dried herself off before heading down to the bathingroom to have a nice long bath. The bath was a good place to think on what she had learned and accoplished over the day and Airlia was eager to sooth away her sore muscles in the warm water.

Tomorrow she would have a new project to tackle. And she had a feeling it would take her most of the day to just gather all the things she would need to start with. A musical instrament took skill and care to make. And while she was low on the first atribute she needed to start somewhere if she were ever to increase that skill.

Slipping down into the watter Airlia sighed letting her eyes slip shut. She wasn't afraid of falling asleep, she had stopped her workout well before that would have been a possibility. Rather closing her eyes helped her center herself as she reviewed her workout in her mind seeking those areas where she needed improvement.

Deep within the woods, Garland sat in meditation, centering his body and mind. His practices earlier in the day had gone well, not once did he hit a tree, or himself for that matter. Though, having excercised his body, now it was time to strengthen his mind.

He sought a oneness with the forest around him, which he quickly found as he always had. Expanding his senses, Garland could sense some of the animals that dwell in this area. He felt a soft tug from an area of forest to the north. He knew it to be a dead tree fallen atop a few saplings.

The earth elemental sighed, reaching to the saplings that had been crushed. Slowly he coaxed them to grow, watching as they eased up around the old trunk. He let them be at that, knowing in time they would eventally grow around the fallen tree.

Khivar stepped out of the room of cleansing fire, smiling contendedly. Now it feels as thought I'm really home! he thought as he stretched and looked around his room. The magically animated flames covered every wall, and the cocoon-like bed in the corner seemed to call out for him. His stomach chose this moment to make itself known to be empty, and from the volume at which it did so, it had been empty for a long time.

Chuckling, Khivar exited his room, heading for the kitchen. Normally, the food here at Home was magically prepared, suiting the tastes of the one who wanted food. Khivar, however, preferred to make his from scratch, having minor qualms about eating conjured food.

Humming a battle hymn as he walked towards the kitchen, he walked by Aeria's room and heard her bustling around inside. Hmm... I guess someone is here after all. I hadn't seen anyone on my way in, so I couldn't tell them I'm back. he thought as he paused at her door. Knocking on her door, he called "Aeria? You in there?"

Khivar's tail swished in annoyance. I guess she can't hear me over whatever she's doing... he thought. Shrugging to himself, he turned to leave when he heard Airlia's voice. "Airlia! Long time no see! How have you been?" he called happily as she walked up.

Aeria walked out of her room then saw all her family. She threw her bag over her shoulder. “Hello all” she let out a small gasp when she saw Khivar. “Well well I was starting to think you where dead.” She said a little smugly. She pushed back some fur with her paw. “what you all up to?” she asked.

"I've been well, it's good to see you Khivar. I see you have been tireing yourself out. I hope you will be feeling more rested soon." Giving a nod to her other siblings Airlia smiled. "I would be happy to dine with you. I have a rather busy day ahead with with my music project and a good meal sounds like an exellent way to start off. "

The air anthro laughed “ya I guess” she said “food sounds wonderful!” she said happily. She placed her arm over Garland shoulder “ohh how nice you are wanting to spend time with the family” she said jokingly she kissed her brother on the cheek in a childish way. Then pinched it “ya know I love ya” she said with a laugh she ran back over to her room and dropped her pack by her door out o the way. “Oh well the trip will be held off at least an hour.
